Will this help with my child's Grade 6 science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics Indiana Grade 6 students work on in class, so your child can find a relevant lesson or practice problem the moment they get stuck on an assignment.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes, focused on one concept at a time. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch as many times as needed until the idea clicks.

Is there an Indiana state test for Grade 6 science?

Indiana administers ILEARN Science assessments at select grade levels. Grade 6 is not a primary ILEARN Science testing year, so no high-stakes science test is expected at this grade.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access Grade 6 science lessons and practice at home, on the go, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if the subscription does not work out for your family.
